It's all either the insurance companies or the clients.

It amazes me that I get customer service surveys all the time asking for feedback, even from my Medicare Advantage HMO. But therapists? No way, never. I know some people have said that have gotten some but I've been to lots or therapists and never, ever got one.

Until therapists and the therapy profession recognize there are, or might be, problems and want to investigate to see what they might be and the extent, they aren't going to do anything. In other words, they "don't want to change". They see no need to change. They don't see the problems. They are in denial. There's nothing I can do about it if they can't even open their eyes.
Thanks for this!
